I doubt it. I can't be certain, but where used in jets it would almopst always be for thrust at low speeds rather than high-speeds.

Some *piston* engines used water or alcohol/water injection for high-speed flying, but they were using it to allow higher boost pressures without knocking (which is not a feature in jets).
